README

Signature is a lightweight Laravel package that allows you to inject developer credits, company branding, and contact information into your application's HTTP headers, HTML source code, and a virtual humans.txt file—all based on the current request host.

Features

• Dynamic Branding: Different signatures for different domains/subdomains using wildcards (e.g., dev.* vs *).
• Zero-File humans.txt: Automatically generates a humans.txt route without cluttering your public/ folder.
• Stealth Headers: Adds custom X-Developed-By headers to every response.
• HTML Injection: Appends a clean developer credit comment to the bottom of your HTML source.
• Fully Configurable: Easily enable/disable features via .env or the published config file.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dot-env-it/signature

The service provider will automatically register itself.

Publish Configuration

Publish the config file to customize your branding:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="signature-config"

Configuration

After publishing, you can manage your default signature in your .env file:

SIGNATURE_ENABLED=true
SIGNATURE_NAME="Jagdish Patel"
SIGNATURE_COMPANY="Dot Env IT"
SIGNATURE_URL="https://github.com/dot-env-it"
SIGNATURE_EMAIL="jagdish.j.ptl@gmail.com"
SIGNATURE_HEADER="powered-by-dot-env-it"

Advanced Host Matching

In config/signature.php, you can define specific branding for different environments or tenants:

'hosts' => [
    'staging.*' => [
        'name'   => 'QA Team',
        'header' => 'staging-environment',
    ],
    'admin.*' => [
        'show_signature' => false, // Hide signature on admin subdomains
    ],
],

Usage

1. HTTP Headers

Once installed, all web responses will include: X-Developed-By: powered-by-dot-env-it (Customizable in config).

2. HTML Source

At the bottom of your rendered HTML, you will see():

<!--
 Developed by: Jagdish Patel | dot-env-it | https://github.com/dot-env-it | jagdish.j.ptl@gmail.com
-->

3. Humans.txt

Visit your-site.test/humans.txt to see your machine-readable developer credits.
